I see the same problem using two machines running trusty amd64. However, in my case the remote system was configured to prompt the user for confirmation to allow incoming VNC connections. You may want to ensure this is not the case.
The behaviour can be changed using "vino-preferences", and then restarting the session to make the change effective. If you have SSH access to the remote user, you can connect using ssh -Y, and run vino-preferences remotely via X forwarding. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/776028 Title: cannot see remote screen during VNC server connection To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/vinagre/+bug/776028/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
